Develops and applies a theory of the ambient metric in conformal geometry. This title includes the derivation of the ambient obstruction tensor and an analysis of the cases of conformally flat and conformally Einstein spaces. It concludes with a construction and characterization of scalar conformal invariants in terms of ambient curvature. CONDITION – USED: Books sold are in GOOD or better condition.
